Zulu Adigwe, one of Nollywood’s finest actors, is dead.
Actors Guild Nigeria's National Secretary Abubakar Yakubu confirmed the death of Adigwe in an interview with Premium Times on Wednesday, April 24.
He, however, said the Guild awaits more details about his death and burial arrangements.
Zulu Adigwe, a first-class graduate in Theatre Arts at the University of Ibadan, became a household name in 1987 after playing Mr B for seven years in the sitcom Basi and Company.
He also acted in movies like Isakaba, Unforgettable, Blood Diamond, The Powerful Baby, The Grandmaster, My Promise, City of Kings, Divided Heart, and many more.

The multifaceted legend was mainly seen as a chief, traditional ruler, father, or elder.
The Nigerian movie industry has lost nearly a dozen actors since the start of the year, including the most recent, which is Junior Pope, who died in a boat mishap en route to a movie set.
